Our hog and her home

This was a gift from Lori and the kids. This is probably the only colubrid I have ever wanted to keep.

Very nice looking Hog. I have always liked hogs, and plan on getting a few in a couple years.

I must say though, that when I read the title, I expected to see one in a pen that weighed about 300 lbs.

LOL as loud as her hiss is now for being such a little thing I would love to hear how loud she would be if she was that big.

Man, when I thought of getting a Hoggy I didn't know they were that attractive! I'm actually going to get one soon and judging by those pics I think I'll go with buying a juvy.

She is cool. Eventually I want a couple tri colored.

You best bet is a western which is what she is. Easterns are hard to get to switch off of frogs. She has been eating mice since day one no problem.

I am with you on those coloubrids and the hognoses. The hogs are my favorite and although I don't have any yet, I'm sure one day I will... and they'll be keepers!

Ehh its only a baby :rofl:.I kinda like the little hogs and i LOVE the albino hogs for sure :cool:.I was at a freinds house waiting for an albino adult female to be delivered and she was sweeeet :bow::bow:

I didn't notice how stout the little hoggy was (and that's good because I would prefer a stocky snake). It looks stouter than those "12 Northern Brown Snakes I have in my backyard and it's less than a foot long!

I love the enviornement you have the hoggy in, very nice. How much upkeep does it take? The tank, is that a screen top, what size is it and where did you find it?

Not to much. The only down side to it is I don't see her much. She is always burrowed under the aspen.
It is a small exo-terra with uth. Most pet stores are carrying them now.
Here is a link to them on their site.

I hadn't seen those before, thanks :D I think I may have to pick a couple up, my frogs would love it too I think.

I hate to break it to you but I don't.

Looks so cute in her little forest there. Great enclosure and it will be large enough for her for all time. I plan to buy the same one just one size up for my cateyed snake, she is really yellowing up and doing a lot more climbing.

How do you like the viv so far? Easy to keep temps stable, etc?

What a cute little worm! :D

I really like them.

We have one of the largest ones for our GTP that we modified a little, got rid of the screen top. We also have another on stand by that will probably get a few cresties.

So so soooooo cute!

I think he/she meant that he/she expected that it really was a hog (as in a pig). BTW, what kind of food do you offer to such a small snake and how long is she?

I know I got that but the image that came to mind was funny. She is less then a foot long maybe 6 inches long and eats large pink or small fuzzy mice.

Could you post pictures of that modified GTP cage in a different thread? I'd love to see what you did.

How large is the terrarium?

Awesome set up. Hoggies rule now you need more of them!!

Such a cutie!
